The text covers building tools and methods; farm and kitchen implements; and the tools of curriers, wheelwrights, coopers, blacksmiths, coachmakers, loggers, tanners, and many other craftsmen of the pre-industrial age. Scores of pen-and-ink sketches by the author accurately depict \"special tools for every job,\" among them a hollowing gouge, hay fork, cornering chisel, apple butter paddle, boring auger, mortising chisel, a holding dog, hauling sledge, winnowing tray, reaping hooks, splitting wedge, felling axe, propping saw horse, and other traditional implements. This volume will delight woodcrafters interested in making their own tools and thrill general readers with its store of Americana.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInformation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthor: Eric Sloane\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher: Dover Publications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopyright: 2002\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e128 Pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReprint of the Funk \u0026amp; Wagnalls, Inc., New York, 1964 edition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Teaching Points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmerican Heritage\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrafts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52568651071712,"sku":null,"price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0702\/5528\/0352\/files\/B78495FF-128E-44E9-BC88-1B036F90378B.jpg?v=1780761482","url":"https:\/\/heirloompublishing.com\/products\/a-museum-of-early-american-tools","provider":"Heirloom Publishing Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
